Are you thinking about updating your home’s cooling system? You might be considering ductless air conditioning. Air conditioning and heat pump installation expert Perfect Degree HVAC in Drexel Hill, PA, provides a brief guide on ductless air conditioning to help you decide if it’s right for your home.
Ductless air conditioning systems comprise two components: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. This system is a cost-effective alternative to traditional central HVAC systems because it only requires the installation of the two main units instead of running additional ductwork throughout the house.
To be placed outside the building, the outdoor unit of ductless air conditioning systems consists of a compressor, condenser coils, a fan, electrical connections and housing to protect those components from external elements. The indoor unit is mounted on an interior wall or the ceiling. This component contains evaporator coils, an expansion coil and another fan.
The outdoor unit compresses the refrigerant, which is then passed to the indoor component via copper tubing. The compressed liquid goes through the expansion valve, changes into gas, and absorbs heat and moisture from the warm air before being released as cool air. As the cool air is distributed, any stale air present is directed to the outdoor unit to be released outside.
Ductless air conditioning systems provide superior comfort levels, thanks to their precise temperature control settings and adjustable fan speeds. This system also helps reduce energy costs compared to other air conditioning systems, as homeowners can choose to cool only the rooms they are using at a given time.
Ductless air conditioning systems are a great way to stay cool in the summer. If you are still unsure whether it’s the right cooling system, contact Perfect Degree HVAC by dialing (610) 529-7372 or sending us a message. We are also your go-to furnace installation company in Drexel Hill, PA.
